Análisis comparativo de los modelos determinantes sociales de la salud y determinación social en escolares transfronterizos y habitantes de la frontera colombo – venezolana.

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Determine the theoretical model that defines the notion of region of territorial units on the Colombo-Venezuelan border. METHODS: Qualitative study of a critical partner cut with a sample of 54 schoolchildren, distributed in three equal groups: Venezuelans, Colombians and cross-border. Data were collected through semistructured interview. The analysis was developed under the approach of grounded theory and network theory. RESULTS: The two theoretical models converge in the nationality code as the one that has greater relations with the social determinants of health in this border area, relating to codes such as environment, danger, needs, disease, employment, informal employment, formal employment, income, politics, role of the state, corruption and territory, employment conditions and territorial perception. ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION: The inequities present based on the models of the DSS and Ds converge in the strong relations present in the territory, but, neither of the two theoretical models is homologous nor gives explicit reason for the social reality that the schoolchildren living in this border live; because they exclude intrinsic aspects of each person that cannot be generalized. CONCLUSIONS: The Venezuelan Colombian border is the same ancestral territory and the social determinants of health are similar on both sides, however, the theoretical models of Social Determinants of Health and Social Determination do not fully demonstrate the inequities present in the social practices of these inhabitants.
